With our project, we aimed to draw a building that could accommodate all aspects of the modern Danish funeral ceremony, as well as being a place for quiet remembrance in a busy city context. To accomplish this, we gathered three main programmes: a Columbarium, a Ceremony-Room, and a Crematorium, in one buildings complex, on Jagtvej 69, Nørrebro, Copenhagen.
